{"product_id":"concepts-of-nature-barry-cooper-9781498527569","title":"Concepts of Nature: Ancient and Modern","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf natural law arguments struggle to gain traction in contemporary moral and political discourse, could it be because we moderns do not share the understanding of nature on which that language was developed? Building on the work of important thinkers of the last half-century, including Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, John Finnis, and Bernard Lonergan, the essays in Concepts of Nature compare and contrast classical, medieval, and modern conceptions of nature in order to better understand how and why the concept of nature no longer seems to provide a limit or standard for human action. These essays also evaluate whether a rearticulation of pre-modern ideas (or perhaps a reconciliation or reconstitution on modern terms) is desirable and\/or possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by R. J. Snell and Steven F.
